Technology Integration, Assessment, and No Child Left Behind - Education World
The federal No Child Left Behind Act includes numerous resources to help schools and states use technology more extensively and efficiently. John Bailey, director of educational technology for the U.S. Department of Education, recently participated in a teleconference called Enhancing Education Through Technology, one of a series of teleconferences on the NCLB Act being sponsored by Plato Learning. Many educators may not realize that Enhancing Education Through Technology, part of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, provides assistance -- in the form of funds and guidance -- for improving technology proficiency among educators and increasing technology use in classrooms. That assistance is available at a time when, according to information from PLATO Learning, only 1/3 of teachers report that they feel prepared to use computers for classroom instruction, and 77 percent report spending 32 or fewer hours on technology-related professional development activities.
